       protest  before  thee  that  if  it  depended  on  me  whether

       they should be offered or omitted, I would put forth all
       my  powers  to  procure  and  further  their  being  offered.
       And  were  I  able  now  to  raise  up  to  thee,  of  the  stones
       which are scattered over the earth, most devoted priests,
       who should day by day and with glowing fervour offer
       to thee this sacrifice of praise, I would most gladly do it.
       But, being what I am, I implore thee, O most holy Father,
       through Jesus Christ thy Son, to pour into the hearts of all
       thy  priests,  and  especially  those  who  might  perchance
       otherwise  offer  thee  this  acceptable  sacrifice  coldly  and
       without  due  recollectedness,  the  spirit  of  grace  and  of
       fervour,  that  they  may  be  enabled  to  celebrate  thy
       tremendous  Mystery  with  becoming  awe  and  devotion.
       Grant to me, and to all those who are here present with
 www.oremusapostolate.com  www.oremusapostolate.com
       me,  that  we  may  join  in  this  most  sacred  action  with
                 www.oremusapostolate.com

       reverence and devotion, so that we may have our portion
       in its fruit and effect. I confess to thee, O almighty God,
       and to the Blessed Mary ever Virgin, and to all the Saints,
       my own sins and those of all the world; and I lay them on
       thy sacred Altar, that they may be entirely blotted out by
       the virtue of this sacrifice. Do thou deign to grant us this
       grace,  by  that  love  which  held  back  thy  hand  from
       smiting when thy most beloved Son, thy only Son, was
       immolated by the hands of ungodly men. Amen.

       As  the  Mass  varies  day  by  day  from  the  Introit  to  the
       Offertory, you may vary your prayers according to your
       devotion.
